UK- In Scotland a cultural divide has been noticed as a result of the Scottish independence referendum. I expect this will simmer down in the coming days (hopefully) as if it doesn't, it could prove to be a serious issue for the future of Scotland. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29300724
Prime Minister David Cameron has released a statement saying the UK will "play its part." I expected this since the US and France have already taken action. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29357116
Prince Charles, the prince of Wales is expected to attend National Police Memorial Day service. I view this a highly respectable and appropriate action. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-29394531

EU hopeful of gas deal between Ukraine and Russia. I hope this pans out as this would be extremely beneficial in boosting the European economy and reducing tensions along the Ukraine/Russian border. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29380637

Greece- Greeks have discovered a tomb from Alexander the Great's era, distracting them from a dire economic crisis. It is being protected at all times of the day from raiders and extremists. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29239529

Spain- The president of the Spanish region of Catalonia has signed a decree calling for a referendum on independence. The Spanish government quickly denounced the plan, deeming it unconstitutional. The region of Catalonia accounts for one of Spain's most richest and industrial regions. Personally, I hope this plan for independence falls through as Spain's economy is already experiencing setbacks and independence will only further destabilized the Euro. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29390774

Cyprus- Police in Cyprus have persuaded nearly 300 migrants, thought to be Syrian refugees, to disembark from the cruise ship that had rescued them. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29358265
